Our episode this week is my discussion with rapper, producer, father, and good friend to the podcast The Grouch.
The Grouch is a legend. A founding member of California’s influential innovators Living Legends and a prolific solo MC and producer in his own right having produced Murs and Slug’s(of Atmosphere) classic album Felt: A Tribute to Christina Ricci (though he often forgets about this). His newest release is Thees Handz, a collaboration album with Murs. It is very good. You should check it out.
The Grouch is an interesting guest for Politickin’ With Eddie. He’s been a good friend of mine for years and because of this, I know him as someone who is very much not political. Someone who can’t find much interest in what happens with most current events. That being said…he is not someone who doesn’t care and knowing him as well as I do, I know he would make for an interesting episode of the podcast. We talk his relationship to politics, Trump, impeachment, his relationship with Murs, his brother’s work with Tyler the Creator, Odd Future and Camp Flognog, his pick for greatest rapper of all time, and much more. This was a fun discussion. I really hope you enjoy listening to it!

On this episode, we sit down with Domino and A-Plus of the WORLD FAMOUS, LEGENDARY Hieroglyphics crew.
